I've been mostly avoiding this due to lack of time, but I'm going to
jump in here because this topic is important:
I'd actually argue that people don't worry about it enough. Given a
number of recent issues, it's kind of scary how much a government or
corporation can piece together based on previously made assessments.
What we should be worried about is not necessarily what a hiring
employer might find, but what the company they outsource their social
networking background check to will find. Don't even get me started
about all the news that's coming out about what DHS was monitoring
during Occupy.
I think this is an important conversation: what does privacy mean in
2013, and how much of our own transparency do we get to decide? I do
agree with Schneier to a large extent that there's a control issue at
hand. Names matter for some things (that's a longer conversation), but
in terms of data mining, there are many, many ways to link information
together. If you're curious for more, take a look at the Facebook
shadow profiles that have been revealed during a lawsuit in Ireland.
If nothing else, we might want to ask questions about what data we
have online, and how it is being used. How can we control it better?
Will putting robots.txt be good enough, or do we also need to put a
mailing list license on our mailman to make sure it's only used for
educational purposes? Etc etc.
Just food for thought.
Hail Eris,
